I tried it previously as Value and got the same error.  Basically, I 
thought that all C routines got parms passed by value unless the include 
file explicitly states const.  Does that sound right?  All the other 
parameters in my RPG are defined as Value.  When this didn't work, I 
started tinkering...

Duh.  I was thinking "RPG" where omitted parms cause an "omitted parm" 
error.  Now that I tried it, I got the same error when I dropped the 3rd 
parameter, and again when I dropped the 2nd parameter!  Now I'm really 
confused.  I *wish* I could use C for this, because it works in C and I 
understand it; however the environment dictates that someone else besides 
me will have to support it, and that means an RPG program.
